Tuesday's racing bulletin
The Five Live selection is Headliner in the 1525 at Exeter (all times GMT).

Top Irish jockey Ruby Walsh has been confirmed as the jockey for Missed That, who contests the Champion Bumper race at the Cheltenham Festival next week.

The Willie Mullins-trained gelding went into a lot of notebooks following a spectacular gallop on Sunday.

Tuesday's race meetings come from Exeter and Southwell. The meeting at Newcastle was abandoned on Monday because of waterlogging.

The ground is good to soft at Exeter where 76 horses compete in the six-race card.

Alan King has his string in great fettle at the moment and the Barbury Castle trainer can have another winner with Lammps Return in the 1455.

The mare was second last time out at Wincanton but this stiffer track will suit her better.

The best bet of the day is Headliner in the 1525. Martin Pipe's gelding is far from straightforward having fallen in two of his last three races.

But the champion trainer has had the horse jumping every day since his latest mishap and if things go his way he looks the best handicapped horse in the race.

The fibresand is standard at Southwell where it should pay to follow Mick Quinn's Byo in the 1340.

The ex-footballer has made a bright start from his new base in Newmarket and this horse goes well on the track.
